Any other change may be dangerous. Improper installation or use of your Outdoor Fire Pit can cause serious

injury or death from fire, burns, explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

The dimensions shown in Figure 1 are MINIMUM

CLEARANCES to maintain when you install this Outdoor

Fire Pit. THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 60” of clearance

from the center of the unit to any combustible sidewalls,

ceilings, or material.

Figure 1

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

A. Before installing this Outdoor Fire Pit, check “Minimum Clearance to Combustibles” on page 2.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES must be maintained when you install this Outdoor Fire Pit. THERE MUST

BE AT LEAST 60”

(

1.5 m

)

from the center of the burner to an

combustible sidewall, ceilin

, or material.

The Outdoor Fire Pit is for outdoor use only. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a building,

garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles and/or boats. This unit must be

installed in such a manner that proper air ventilation is maintained without obstruction at all times, and

durin

all weather conditions.

CHECK GAS TYPE (natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the same as that

stated on your outdoor rating plate. THIS FIRE PIT IS CONSTRUCTED FOR USE WITH PROPANE GAS. If the

gas supply is different, or you wish to change to natural gas, you MUST have the Fire Pit Converted (method

described on page 8) to the gas type you intend to use, by a qualified, professional technician. If you are

unsure

contact

our dealer for assistance.

DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OR EXCEEDS THE

MAXIMUM.

F. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr). Undue

pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small or the run is too long.

Page3

FOR NATURAL GAS: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 5 inches (127

mm) water column and maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10 inches (254 mm) water column.

FOR PROPANE: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 8 inches

(203 mm) water column and the maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 13 inches (330 mm) water column.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS

EXCEEDED.

If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5kPa).

INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date for service.

GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten every

oint securel

. Do not use

oint com

ound to connect flare fittin

SAFETY NOTE: An external on/off valve in the gas line is required for safety when your Outdoor

Fire Pit is not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance and repair.

Casual Fireside Fire Pits are suitable for installation from 0 - 4500 ft. without modification.

If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, it must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by

closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5kPa).

L. Propane Regulator Hose: Always inspect the condition of the propane regulator hose before each operation.

ns of excessive abrasion MUST BE REPLACED. Contact

our local dealer for re

lacement

art

Location Regulator Hose (when used): The propane regulator hose is located inside the fire pit door panel.

When installed, make sure the hose is secured inside the unit and DOES NOT TOUCH THE BURNER PAN.

Periodically make a visual check of the burner flames - see pictorial representation below for proper flame height

Cleaning of appliance – Remove lava rock or glass crystals, clean burner with soap and water and dry thoroughly.

OPERTATING INSTRUCTIONS

*We recommend that before you install your Fire Pit you familiarize yourself with the control valve layout.

This will help you to be confident operating the Fire Pit when fully installed (see figures below for typical control positions).

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING

VWARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY,

A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE,

PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the Outdoor Fire Pit

area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because

propane gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

IF YOU SMELL GAS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON

PAGE 1.

Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.

Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by

hand. DO NOT try to repair it. Call a qualified,

professional service technician. Force or attempted repair

may result in fire or explosion.

DO NOT use this appliance if any part has

been under water. Immediately call a

qualified, professional service technician to

inspect the Outdoor Fire Pit and to replace

any part of the control system and any gas

control that has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

STOP - READ SAFETY INFOIRMATION ABOVE

Shutting Off The Fire Pit

CAUTION:

DO NOT turn the main gas valve knob to the “ON” position FOR 5 MINUTES after shutting the unit off.

To turn off: Press in and rotate the manual gas control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.

Push in the manual gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.

Wait 5 minutes for gas to clear out
